Question

7. The area of a mezium is 300 m The perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides is 15 m. If
the difference of the parallel sides is 16 m, find the length of the parallel sides.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezium A is given by

A = 1/2 (a + b) h

If one side is a, the other side is 'a-16' since the difference of the parallel sides is 16

— 12 (а +а - 16) x 15 = 300 1/2 (2a - 16) x 15 = 300 Multiply both sides

by 2 (2a - 16)x15 = 600 Divide both sides by 15

2a - 16 = 40

2a = 56

a = 28

28 - 16 = 12

.. The sides are 28 m and 12 m
